See the technical phrasing
Testosterone, estrogen, and growth hormone enhance the repair and recovery of connective tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and joints.
Testosterone, estrogen, and growth hormone reduce inflammation at injury sites and turn on signals that build new tissue. This allows tendons, ligaments, and joints to heal faster by creating a better environment for cells to rebuild structure and restore function.
